This post will be part of a little experiment I'm trying to do with my friends. We want to know why players pick a specific game over other games.

So what made you pick League of Legends over other MOBA's like for example DotA2? Was it it's simplicity? The champions? The lore and universe?

Personally I picked League over other games because of it's style, champions and lore.

I was never an online gamer. I only really played simulation games, strategy games, and rpgs that were solo campaign or coop (when those popped up). I had a boyfriend at the time who asked me to play league with him for his birthday until level 14. I have now been playing for 10 years.

I don't like other mobas in the same way I didn't like LoL. It's so much work to learn enough to even be good but you have to play with people who already have learned so it's frustrating for the first 20 hours as you get to grasp it.

Beyond that I also had to read all the original lore (rip Cassio being turned via a Freljord blade) to really enjoy the game.
